The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"Going out? Aren't you here for a steam bath? Steam for a bit longer, let's talk here. Besides, I'm here keeping you company, right?" Tang Rao said with a smile.

This temperature is nothing to him.

After all, I've concentrated a thousand breaths in Dantian. If I'm defeated by a steam room, I wouldn't be able to face anyone.

"You... let me... go out..." Gu Shengtai said painfully, he really couldn't take it anymore.

The sensation of needles prickling intensified, feeling like the grease under his skin was being roasted out.

"The faster you talk, the better you say it, the sooner you can leave." Tang Rao gripped Gu Shengtai with a cold expression.

You really think I, Tang Rao, am easy to talk to?

Indeed, if you treat me nicely, I am a youth filled with positive energy; but since you were being shady, don't blame me for being ruthless.

That's just who I am. Respect me by an inch, I'll respect you by a yard; cross me by an inch, but expect to be chased to the ends of the earth.

It's not that I love you too much, but that I can't bear to let you go.

"My mom died early, my dad is a worker. I often hung out with people outside of school, and I took a fancy to Jiang Langhuan. That's how those thugs outside handle women." Gu Shengtai spoke rapidly.

"Often hanging out outside? Then do you know He Fei?" Tang Rao had a thought and asked.

"Brother Fei? You know Brother Fei too? We're all acquaintances... I... I'm going to be roasted." Gu Shengtai immediately cried out.

"Do you know Cui Sifang?" Tang Rao asked again.

"Cui Sifang? I don't know him..." Gu Shengtai's screams were somewhat pitiful.

By now, his skin was covered with small red bumps, clearly suffering great torment.

"Did someone put you up to this?" Tang Rao always felt there was something suspicious about the situation.

Of course, it could also be his overthinking. But sometimes, being suspicious is better than suspecting nothing at all.

"Put up? No... really... no..." Gu Shengtai screamed loudly, like slaughtering a pig.

Outside the steam room, Zhou Boxiong and others were getting goosebumps listening to this; Boss Tang was truly ruthless.

As for Gu Shengtai's classmates, though filled with indignation, they were helpless.

With so many security guards blocking, they couldn't enter even if they wanted to.

"No one put you up to this? Why don't I believe you?" Tang Rao didn't let go of Gu Shengtai just like that, continuing to grip him without any intention to release.

"I really just did it on a whim, let me go! Please let me go... Ah!!!" Gu Shengtai's body trembled wildly, he really couldn't take it anymore, this was like being boiled alive.

How could there be such a perverted guy in the world!

And, why isn't Tang Rao suffering? He's also in the room. Doesn't he feel the extreme heat here?

Tang Rao snorted, having the least trust in the words "on a whim."

"How did you manage to lure away Jiang Langyue?" Tang Rao continued asking.

Jiang Langyue being away from Jiang Langhuan was weird.

Normally, Jiang Langyue is always with Jiang Langhuan 24 hours a day.

Today, Jiang Langyue just happens to be away, several female classmates just happen to go to the bathroom, and you just happen to act on a whim, it all seems fishy to me.

In this world, there are not so many coincidences.

"Ah!! It hurts!!" Gu Shengtai didn't answer Tang Rao; at this time, all that was left in his mouth were screams.

It felt like his eyes were about to roll back.

Tang Rao frowned, then proceeded to drag Gu Shengtai towards the door.

We really can't just let this guy die from the scalding here; that would bring trouble upon myself as well.

Moreover, he could sense that Gu Shengtai wasn't just pretending; his body was indeed on the brink of collapse.

Even so, he merely mentioned it was a spontaneous act.

There were only two possibilities: either Gu Shengtai was telling the truth and it was coincidental, or Gu Shengtai was a master of disguise, appearing foolish on the surface but harboring a dark and enduring heart within.

Without solid evidence, Tang Rao was unable to make an accurate judgment.

"My oh my, why does he look like a cooked lobster?" Seeing Tang Rao bring Gu Shengtai out, Zhou Boxiong immediately commented.

As for the others at the door, they all watched Tang Rao in horror, he was too ferocious.

He must be cooked!

Is he dead yet?

"Call the police! Hurry and call the police!" Gu Shengtai's friends all started shouting, and someone had even begun dialing on their phone.

"You and Lang Huan are classmates after all, you should know about her background, right?" Tang Rao whispered in Gu Shengtai's ear with a slight laugh.

Gu Shengtai's face shifted slightly.

"No... don't... call the police." Gu Shengtai spoke with difficulty, realizing that calling the police would truly be the end of him.

Thinking of Jiang Langhuan's background... it was frightening.

Clearly, Gu Shengtai's followers there were just his lackeys. Hearing his words, they immediately put down their phones.

They also knew that Gu Shengtai was up to no good with Jiang Langhuan today, though he hadn't succeeded.

But if the police got involved, they would be in trouble too.

"Alright, you can go now." Tang Rao pushed Gu Shengtai forward, right into the hands of his few friends.

"Go... take me away..." Gu Shengtai immediately cried out, his eyes filled with boundless fear.

Several male and female friends didn't fuss further; they supported Gu Shengtai and left the sauna.

"Boss Tang, how did it go?" Zhou Boxiong looked towards Tang Rao.

"Not much, just, something feels off." Tang Rao slightly frowned and then turned to look at Yan Wei.

Yan Wei shrugged: "I don't know this guy, I will check when I get back and give you an analysis."

"Good." Tang Rao's eyes lit up; Yan Wei's analysis was sure to be immensely helpful.

"Hey, Boss Tang..." Zhou Boxiong suddenly jerked his head to the side and called Tang Rao's attention, also using some eye signals.

Tang Rao naturally understood what Zhou Boxiong meant; Jiang Langhuan was still sitting nearby.

"You guys continue, I'll join soon." Tang Rao said to Zhou Boxiong and Yan Wei.

The two guys quickly got the hint and dashed into the sauna room nearby.

"Lang Huan, how are you feeling now?" Tang Rao sat beside Jiang Langhuan, propping his chin with one hand, tilting his head to look at her.

Jiang Langhuan also turned her head towards Tang Rao.

Looking at Tang Rao's profile, she didn't know why, but there was a sudden flicker of joy within her heart.

She used to despise seeing Tang Rao before.

"Thank you, Tang Rao... you saved me again." Jiang Langhuan nodded, indicating that she was alright now.

"Until the engagement is called off, you're still my fiancée, of course, I should take responsibility for you," Tang Rao responded with a smile.

Hearing Tang Rao's words, Jiang Langhuan's heart inexplicably tightened, then she fell silent.
